With grateful thanks to @DaveWallerLFC for his wealth of historic videos on Liverpool Football Club - Thanks Dave!
"So why the intrigue for a game that ended scoreless?
(1) The all whites of Aston Villa were the defending League Champions whilst the all reds of Liverpool were the defending European Cup Champions.
(2) In just eight months time the roles would be completely reversed!
Liverpool would wrap up the League Championship on 15th May with a 3–1 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur whilst just 11 days later in Rotterdam, Aston Villa would upset the odds by defeating heavy favourites Bayern Munich 1–0 in the European Cup Final.
(3) The vast majority of the Aston Villa team that faced Liverpool in this game would triumph in Holland at the end of May 1982, minus an early injury to goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer. The reason for his individual inclusion here will become readily apparent shortly.
(4) The 0–0 draw would see the Reds of Liverpool just one place above the relegation zone, Aston Villa 14th, and although only five games into the league season, this would be portentous for both sides in a strangely topsy-turvy season all round.
(5) Despite the 0–0 score line, Liverpool hit the crossbar an incredible three times, the post once and Aston Villa were forced into two desperate goal line clearances.".

Although this piece of writing is not contained within the book I'm trying to promote, I thought I'd link it here anyway as it's my pride and joy and the book on Liverpool Football Club I've always wanted to write. If you are able, please consider taking a chance on this 540 page opus to two seasons in the storied life of Liverpool FC as well as 8 personal stories interwoven throughout of my European travels with the Reds. There are also other ways and means of supporting me, if you are able, to thumb the eye of the traditional publishers who refused to read my original manuscript!
